McKayla Maroney addressed serial abuser and former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar during his sentencing hearing on January 18. In a statement from Mckayla, read by a prosecutor, to her alleged abuser, McKayla called him a “monster of a human being” who “deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison.”

Nassar is being sentenced on 10 counts of first-degree sexual abuse, to which he pleaded guilty. More than 140 women, including many Olympic and elite gymnasts, have accused Nassar of sexual abuse, particularly through his role as Team USA’s doctor. Many, including McKayla, have said Nassar abused them under the guise of medical treatment. During his sentencing hearing, many of Nassar’s accusers have taken the stand to tell him exactly how he impacted them, delivering powerful statements about the nature of sexual abuse.

Mckayla, who alleged Nassar began abusing her when she was 13 and he was the doctor for the U.S. women’s national gymnastics team, said he left indelible scars on her, according to a transcript of her statement provided by CNN.

“Dr. Nassar was not a doctor,” McKayla’s statement read in part. “He in fact is, was, and forever shall be a child molester and a monster of a human being. End of story! He abused my trust, he abused my body, and he left scars on my psyche that may never go away.”

McKayla said she was told to trust Nassar and that he was one of the people who could help her achieve a major goal: to get to the Olympics. She recounted numerous instances of abuse on the stand, including what she called the “scariest night” of her life.

“It seemed whenever and wherever this man could find the chance, I was ‘treated.’ It happened in London before my team and I won the gold medal, and it happened before I won my silver medal. For me, the scariest night of my life happened when I was 15 years old. I had flown all day and night with the team to get to Tokyo. He’d given me a sleeping pill for the flight, and the next thing I know, I was all alone with him in his hotel room getting a ‘treatment.’ I thought I was going to die that night.”

As she spoke about her own story, she also addressed the #MeToo movement at large.

“People should know that sexual abuse of children is not just happening in Hollywood, in the media, or in the halls of Congress,” she said. “This is happening everywhere. Wherever there is a position of power, there seems to be potential for abuse.”

McKayla asked the judge to impose the maximum possible sentence on Nassar.
